    DescriptionLarge plates such as this one were made to hold tamales and other sacred foods for feasts and funerary offerings. The image on this plate of a masked man wearing a full jaguar pelt and carrying a staff or spear suggests a ruler or court dancer in full, high-status regalia. The loose lines of the figural art on this piece are characteristic of polychrome pottery from Campeche.
